Getting barreled over.


Over the weekend, I met some interesting people at the Austin Art Wine Party downtown during the afterparty at Mellow Johnny's and learned about the cool art project called Barrels Across Texas. Old wine barrels you see in wineries are now on display at many areas merchants, wine bars, and restaurants around Austin. Painted by local and international artists these barrels will be on a big display at the Long Center, April 17, then they'll be auctioned off after the Hill Country Wine & Food Festival in late April. If you want to see some of these great original pieces of art go to www.barrelsovertexas.com for a look at the barrels and the artists behind them.
